Does NU have a chance in the B1G West?

Iowa should have like a 1%

Iowa should have a 1% chance just like every other B1G West squad. 

I still think it is amazing Cornhuskers have the same record as Wisconsin and Minnesota and have a chance, STILL to win the West.

Good gravy, if I told you at the beginning of the year, with three games left on the year that if we beat Maryland, Iowa, and Wisconsin and Minnesota loses to tOSU we would win the B1G West, would you take it?

Most people would in a heart beat. The problem, if we don't beat any of them, we still don't make a bowl game. Just burn the division to the ground already.

 
After week 9.  Moved up in both.

Nebraska #51 in SP+ / #61 in FPI

Minnesota #49 / #53
Colorado #77 / #74
N. Illinois #98 / #96
Louisiana Tech #105 / #110
Michigan #1 / #2
Illinois #62 / #68
North­western #92 / #82
Purdue #82 / #73
Michigan St #74  / #77

Maryland #31 / #32
Wisconsin #27 / #29
Iowa #36 / #39


After week 10.  Not a lot of movement (which probably is to be expected this time of year).  The computers like Wisconsin and I don't get it.

Nebraska #54 in SP+ / #60 in FPI

Minnesota #51 / #54
Colorado #80 / #71
N. Illinois #99 / #96
Louisiana Tech #105 / #114
Michigan #1 / #2
Illinois #63 / #66
North­western #89 / #80
Purdue #88 / #73
Michigan St #72  / #78

Maryland #37 / #40
Wisconsin #28 / #33
Iowa #33 / #41

 
FPI Chance to win the West after week 9:

Iowa 41.2%

Wisconsin 37.2%

Minnesota 11.9%

Nebraska 8.6%

Northwestern 1.1%

Illinois 0.1%

Purdue 0.0%


FPI Chance to win the West after week 10:

Iowa 71.4%

Wisconsin 13.6%

Nebraska 8.7%

Minnesota 5.0%

Illinois 1.2%

Northwestern 0.1%

Purdue 0.0%

Iowa controls their own destiny.  Win out vs Rutgers, Illinois, and Nebraska and they go the Indy.

Iowa owns tiebreaker over Wisconsin.

Minnesota owns tiebreaker over Iowa and Nebraska.

Can you provide a link to view SP+ without an espn.com subscription? Maybe post it on the waybackmachine? I miss when it was free on footballoutsiders lol.

I’ll donate $10k to 1890 if this happens




That would be such a fitting end to the division if it happens.
